On the Project Censored show Mickey Huff with Peter Phillips interview author and scholar Allison Weir regarding her new book Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the United States was used to create Israel. Few Americans today are aware that U.S. support enabled the creation of modern Israel. Even fewer know that U.S. politicians pushed this policy over the forceful objections of top diplomatic and military experts. For the second half of the show they discuss the recent developments regarding Edward Snowden and the corporate media and political establishment propaganda attempts to frame leakers and journalists as traitors; and they end the show in discussion with Aaron Good, Ph.D. student at Temple University, about academic freedom and the controversial dismissal of African American Studies Associate Professor Anthony Monteiro.
